New Masonic Lodge.

A number of the members of the
Masonic fraternity residing in
Ketchum have for some time past
had under consideration the pro-
priety of organizing home lodge,
and have now taken definite action
in the matter. Arrangements have
been made to have the fircproof
brick building, now in course OF
construction for Comstock 4 Clark
at the corner of Main and Third
streets, erected an additional story
in height, the upper portion to be
designed to meet the requirements
of a first-class hall for the use OF
secret societies. A spacious assem-
blv chamber, with the necessary
ante-rooms, will be provided, and,
when completed, Ketchum can
boast of as fine a hall for such pur-
poses to be found on the River.
The erection of the additional story
will necessitate some delay in the
completion Of the building, which
was to have been ready for occu-
pancy early in July, but with the
extra amount of work to be dore
the close of next month will proba-
bly, End the building completed.

NE WENT TO SLEEP.
And Succeeded in Raising the Liveliest
Kind of an Excitement.

The alarming cries of a young
cir. Fastening toward Main street
on Thursday afternoon explaining,
as best she could to anxious in
uuirers, that her little brother had
been drowned raised, considerable
of an excitement in town, and
within few moments number OF
people were hurrying to the banks
of Trail creek anxious to learn
further particulars and render such
assistance possible to the distracted
parents. 1t was learned that ArtO,
the three-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Kelly, living near the
creek, had been missing for an hour
and was suppose to have falleni in the
swift waters of the stream. Men and
boys were soon at work searching
the creek in the hopes OF discover
ing the body of the child. Plans
were suggested for turning the
water and willing hearts and will
ing hands were not lacking to do
anything necessary to be done. 1t
suddenly occurred that no one had
seen the child near the creek and it
was thought best to prosecute the
search on dry land. The play
grounds and haunts of the children
were all visited but no trace of the
missing one gould be found and
once more the belief gained ground
that the child had fallen in the
creek and drowned. Efforts to re-
coved the body were renewed, when
suddenly the little one appeared on
the bank of the creek in charge of
his mother wondering in his little
mind what all the commotion was
about. During the afternoon Mrs.
Kelley had been visiting at the res
idence of a. w. Comstock and un-
known to her the boy had followed
her, went into room in the rear
of the house, laid down and went
to sleep, where he was finally dis
covered. 1t was an amusing end
ing Of what might have been sor
rowful accident, and it is safe to
say close watch will be kept on
the little one hereafter when he
leaves the house.

EAST FORK ITEMS.
CORRESPONDENTS KEYSTONE


The people of East Fork appear
to be doomed to disappointment
The postoffice dead and the store
opened with the word "saloon
over the door. The word "store y
probably has more meaning than
some of Us innocent ones were
aware of.
The East Fork was higher last
week than known for several years
past. being impossible with teams
Ketchum folks going in the
country for a drive should take the
East Fork road by all means. The
road is good and the scenery mag
nificent. The valley is looking its
best now, with its green grass, trees
and wild flowers. Several coy
homes are to be found there, among
which are to be found the residences
of Captain Ludlow and Thomas
Rowe, Of the North Star mine.
which present an attractive sight.
M. J. Calnan had the misfortune
to have his saddle pony badly in
jured about the head and shoulder
by one of the animals feet being
caught in the bell strap.
+. Harlan has quit work at the
North Star and goes to the. Camas
Gold Belt prospecting. We wish
him success.
Our road supervisor had lively
time of it during the high water at
the Gimlet bridge. When the new
road is completed high water will
cause no interruption to travel be-
tween East Fork and ketchum.
The Misses Carrie and Marcia
Ludlow have returned home from
Ketchum, where they have been at
tending school.
Some residents Of this place have
created quite commotion at
Haley because the school house
here has been rented and is used
for a saloon. 1t was rented with
the intention of securing money
for the benefit of the school, and
by those who spent the most time
and money in building in. Not
one cent of county money was used
in building it, consequently it be-
longs to those who put up. Then
why can it not be rented? Those
who are complaining most are re
mote inhabitants, who are not az
fected.
The Leader mine is being operated
with a small force.
Harry Cummins has moved his
family to Ketchum.
Skunk bears are frequently seen
here.

Three of q Kind.

Major VIM. Hyndman returned
on Tuesday from the east after an
absence of several months and met
with a cordial reception from his
many friends. The Major was
warmly congratulated over the sue
cess he had met with in the tran
saction of affairs both of public
and private interest which will
rebound to the benefit of Ketchum.
The establishment of the Dickey
mail route to a daily service and
the ruling secured from the Interior
Department authorizing the cutting
of all desirable timber on gov
eminent lands, for mining, milling
and domestic purposes, which
order virtually dispOses of the gov
eminent prosecutions against the
Z. NJ. & S. Co. and others here, for
alleged depredations, are among
the matters that occupied the at.
tentions of Major Hyndman and
his friends. He modestly disclaims
the credit of securing these benefits
to Ketchum by his own individual
efforts, and attributes all the sue
cess achieved to the untiring efforts
and valuable services rendered by
Sydney l.. Wright, president OF
the p. e.. l. Co., and our delegate
in congress Hon. Fred T. Dubois
Both Of these gentlemen gave their
earnest personal attention to these
matters in connection with Major
Hyndman and together they made
such an impressive showing to the
heads of the departments that the
demands made had to be conceded

What truly beautiful world we
live in ! Nature gives us grandeur Of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in per-
feet health; but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving it
up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfacte-
ryproof that GREENS AUGUST Flow
Err will make them free from disease,
as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes OF
seventy-five per cent. of such mala-
dies as Billiousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nerv-
GUS Prostitution, Dizziness of the
Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and
other distressing symptoms. Three
doses of AUGUST FLOWER will prove
it's wonderful effect. Sample bot

Recent information received from
Washington states that no action
has as yet been taken in regard to
the appointment of a successor to
J. s. Waters as Receiver at the
HALEY Land Office. There are
three applicants for the position,
none of whom seem to have any ad-
vantage over the other. Although
requested so to do. delegate Dubois
has not recommended the appoint
ment of any of the applicants for
the position, and will not DO 80.
It does not appear likely that any
nomination will be made for some
time and possibly Receiver Waters
will warm the cushion OF govern
ment arm chair until after congress
meets next December.

OUR SMOKY LETTER.
An Interesting Budget Of News from
Over the Summit.

Smoky is little wonder. The
camp, owing to the limited space
for building purposes, will not at
tain large proportions, yet the great
richness of its many lodges will
make the place one of great activity.
Even now, before the roads are
fairly open to travel, numbers of
men are flocking in and accommo-
dation in the matter of lodging and
feeding them are considerably
strained to meet the demand. The
snow passed away with amazing
rapidity the last few days of May,
and the green grass is once more
showing itself. The melting SHOWS
brought forth torrents of water, and
the Little Smoky was booming for
time. Sad havoc was played with
the road leading to Willow creek
summit, and it looks, in some
places, like deserted hydraulic
mining camp. 1t will take long
time to put it in passable condi-
ton, and at least $4,000 will be
necessary to meet the expense of
such repairs. Ketchum, if wide
awake, can secure monopoly of
the Smoky trade and travel. The
whistle of the concentration is now
heard in the camp, and shipments
of ore will soon he commenced.
At the Dollarhide mine, away up
near the east summit, a fine lot Of
very rich ore is being assorted and
sacked preparatory to shipment.
The working force at this mine will
be considerably increased as soon
as the road is open to travel with
teams.
The Carrie Leonard is now work
ing twenty men, and will put as
many more on in few days. The
mine will work sixty to seventy
men during the summer.
The King of the West is looking
well and will soon increase its force,
at present numbering fifteen men
The Silver Star, owned and OPP
Grated by the =. d |. Co., is work
ing about twenty men, and spent
the winter in driving tunnels, drift
ing, Stopping and prosecuting. The
mine is honeycembed with work
ings.
The Tyrannis, leased by Charles
Davis, is showing some wonderful
rock. Some parties at HALEY are
strenuously endeavoring to buy the
lease, as it has some fifteen months
yet to run.
The Galore, owned by j. p. Me-
Carter and J. o. Swift, is working
a small force of men and looking
well, with every prospect of devel-
oping into a fine property.
There are Il large number Of pros
poets in the vicinity of these mines
which will he extensively worked
this summer. Among these are the
Aspinwall, Honduras, Saratoga and
Adelaide. a number of new loca-
tons have already been made this
spring.
The enterprising Smoky mer-
chant, Charles Davis, has replen-
ished his stock of general merchan-
disc to meet the daily increasing
wants of miners, prospectors, adj
venturers and "Sons of Faith"
